Angry Arne Slot Left Stunned After Liverpool Loss To Spurs

An irate Liverpool coach Arne Slot struggled to understand a refereeing decision which directly led to his sides League Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur , in London, on Wednesday evening.

The only goal of the first-leg semi-final came in the 86th minute when Lucas Bergvall struck for the hosts.

Had Attwell stopped play for the challenge, Bergvall would have likely received a second yellow card and Liverpool a free kick.

'The decision made had a lot of impact on the result tonight, said Slot.
